I am new to (please help and be gentle) and have resently purchased a 99 XJ sport. I did research and decided on the 99. I am now doing research on the "right" suspension lift. I have searched your website and talked to vendors and manufactors.
This is a DD and I want to lift between 3-4", allowing 30-31" tires. It will be heavy with front and rear iron bumpers, front winch and rocker slides. It will be used mostly for highway and then recreation in sand, mud and hunting trails.
Talked to Dirk, DPG, helpful and suggested OME 934, rear leafs with JCXL and SYE. Talked to my 4x4 mechanic, he said no, it would result in no lift with that weight. I talked about RE, he said "crap", recommended Fabtech.
Any experince addressing the following would be appreciated:
Will the OEM 3"" with extra leaf provide 3" lift with added weight?
Will OEM hold up and not sag?
Who had experience with a 3"-31/2 RE on a daily driver?
Any experience with Fabtech?
Doing it right once, regardless of cost, will be better/cheaper than doing it several times.
thanks, Steveareno
